Passing Javascript array to servlet

[Garg]

Hi All,

I am facing one problem if you are having any solution please tell me.

I have to pass an array from javascript to servlet. for this i created
one array and pass that through submitting the form with post method
and i am using request.getParameterValues to get that array. But i am
getting values in the first position of that array and that also comma
separated so that also of no use for me.

Is there any way to pass the value to the Servlet?

Thanks

You cannot pass arrays from a form to a servlet. It has to be Strings,
or Binary data (multipart requests). Instead of creating an array, you
can set multiple values for the parameter, and use
getParameterValues( ) to get all values as an array. This is pretty
common for checkbox groups, like:

<FORM>
<P>Check all the colors you like</P>
<LABEL><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="favcolor" VALUE="red">Red</LABEL>
<LABEL><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="favcolor" VALUE="green">Green</
LABEL>
<LABEL><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="favcolor" VALUE="blue">Blue</
LABEL>
</FORM>

As you can see, the name is same (favcolor) with different values. If
Red and Green are selected, the query string will look something like ?
favcolor=red&favcolor=green.
